🔔 Important NDIS Updates for 2026 — What You Need to Know

As we step into the new year, several confirmed reforms to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will affect both participants and providers.

Here’s a clear snapshot of what’s ahead:

📅 From 1 July 2026 — Mandatory Registration

SIL (Supported Independent Living) providers and digital platform providers will be required to register with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

Further transition guidance is expected early this year.

🔄 Mid-2026 — New Planning Framework

All participants will progressively transition to a new planning framework over the next four years. Key improvements include:

Clearer and more consistent assessment processes

Greater transparency in funding decisions

Increased flexibility, with clearly specified funding amounts

📋 Support Needs Assessment

A new assessment process will be introduced to better evaluate individual support needs and align funding more accurately with participant goals.

✅ Already in Effect

Updated definition of NDIS supports (since October 2024), clarifying what can and cannot be funded

Plan variations can now include funding increases or decreases (since March 2025)

📢 Public Consultation

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will conduct public consultation on planning framework rules in early 2026. This is an important opportunity to have your say.

We’re committed to staying informed and supporting you through every stage of these changes. If you have questions or need clarity on how this may affect you, please reach out to our team.

NDIS 2025 Year‑End Update: What It Means For You 📊✨

As 2025 comes to a close, the NDIS is going through major reforms focused on clearer rules, more use of technology in planning, and keeping the Scheme financially sustainable. 💡📈 These changes will affect how participants access supports and how providers like us operate every day. 👥🏠

What’s changing? 🔄

Changes to the NDIS Act and related rules are being phased in, with clearer boundaries on what the NDIS will fund and a stronger focus on fraud control and payment integrity. ⚖️🛡️

From 3 October 2025, all NDIS claims must be lodged within two years of the support start date, and older claims will be automatically rejected by NDIS systems. ⏰❌

A national assessment approach and new digital systems are being introduced, with a move toward more computer‑generated plans and less individual manual drafting over the next couple of years. 🤖📱

Mandatory registration is planned for more providers, including Supported Independent Living, platform‑based services and support coordinators, with transitions expected to begin no earlier than 1 July 2025 and continue into 2026. 📋🔒

What this means for our community 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Participants and families may notice changes in how needs are assessed, what evidence is requested, and how plans are reviewed or reassessed. 📝👀

Providers are expected to meet tighter compliance, documentation and pricing expectations, including around claims timing, travel and other billable items. ✅💼

How we’re supporting you 🤝❤️

As an NDIS provider, we are updating our processes so your supports stay compliant with the new rules and as smooth and transparent as possible. 🛤️✨ We will keep you informed about these reforms and are available to talk through what they might mean for your current plan or upcoming plan review. 🗣️📞

🌟 Important NDIS Updates: What Participants & Providers Need to Know for 2025! 🌟

Major reforms are underway, focused on improving safeguards and ensuring the NDIS is sustainable. Here are the 5 key changes and their dates:

1. 🛡️ Expanded Mandatory Registration (From Late 2025)

Who is affected? SIL providers, Support Coordinators, and Online Platform Providers must register.

The Goal: Bring thousands of unregistered services under regulation to boost safeguards and service quality.

2. ✅ Clearer Definition of Supports (Transition Ends Oct 2025)

The Rule: NDIS funding strictly covers only supports listed on the official NDIS Supports List.

Key Date: The 12-month transition period, which began in October 2024, ends on October 2, 2025.

3. ⏱️ Flexible Plan Variations (Started Early 2025)

The Change: The NDIA can quickly adjust participant plans for changing needs or immediate risks.

Benefit: Allows for more timely and responsive support, avoiding a full, lengthy plan reassessment.

4. 💰 Quarterly Funding Cycles (Applying to New Plans Since May 2025)

How Funding is Released: Plans shift from upfront annual payments to smaller, typically quarterly funding instalments.

Purpose: Helps participants manage their budgets better, reducing overspending for scheme sustainability.

5. 💲 Pricing Changes Effective 24 November 2025

What is Affected: New arrangements impact therapy rates, travel allowances, Assistive Technology claims, and billing rules.

Goal: Establish fairer, sustainable pricing and ensure clearer billing and claiming rules across the sector.

Don't be caught off guard! Review how these reforms affect your plan or service delivery.

World Occupational Therapy Day! 🎉💙👐

As a proud NDIS Provider, today we are celebrating the incredible Occupational Therapists (OTs) who work with our participants to help them transform possibility into reality!
Occupational Therapy is the foundation of client-centred support, focused on promoting wellbeing through meaningful everyday activities 🏠💪. OTs deliver evidence-based interventions central to the NDIS’s core values: empowering participants with choice, control, and greater independence 🙌🦾.

The global theme is "Occupational Therapy in Action," and we are proud to facilitate access to this vital action every day! Our role as a provider is to ensure our participants are connected to the right OT expertise 🤝 needed to align their supports with their specific NDIS goals 🎯.

How OT “In Action” Benefits Participants:

Building Functional Independence: OTs assess and train participants in essential daily living skills—from managing personal care 🚿🪥 to complex cooking skills 🍳—using practical, skill-building strategies.

Enhancing Participation: They overcome environmental barriers, assist with prescribing Assistive Technology (AT) 🦼📱, and plan home modifications 🏡 for safety and engagement.

Creating a Rewarding Life: By focusing on individual aspirations, OTs help participants develop routines and skills for a fulfilling, independent life 😊🌈, directly improving overall quality of life.

We thank every dedicated OT across the country for your clinical expertise, creativity, and commitment to the NDIS community 🙏🧑‍⚕️.
Let’s continue creating those possibilities, together! 🌟

🌟✨ Happy Diwali from Australian Support Services (WA) ! 🪔

Across Australia and around the world, communities are celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It’s a time that symbolises the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.

For many, Diwali is more than a festival — it’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what brings meaning, joy, and unity into our lives.

These values deeply connect with the heart of our NDIS community. Every day, we see the power of light in action — through compassion, empowerment, and inclusion. Each moment of support, every step towards independence, and every shared success reflects that same spirit of Diwali: lighting the way forward, together. 💛

As we join our staff, participants, and families who celebrate Diwali, we also celebrate the light that shines in our shared community — a light of care, understanding, and hope. 🌸

Wishing everyone a Diwali filled with happiness, health, and new beginnings. ✨

✨ Busting the Myths: NDIS Myth vs Fact ✨

The NDIS can feel confusing at times, especially with so many misconceptions floating around. To help increase awareness and confidence, here are 5 common myths — and the real facts behind them:

🔹 Myth 1: The NDIS only supports physical disabilities.
✅ Fact: The NDIS supports a wide range of disabilities — intellectual, sensory, cognitive, psychosocial, and neurological — not just physical. Eligibility depends on how the disability impacts daily life.

🔹 Myth 2: You must be unemployed or have low income/assets to get NDIS support.
✅ Fact: Financial status, assets, or employment don’t affect eligibility. If you meet the disability and residency criteria, you can apply — no matter your income.

🔹 Myth 3: NDIS funding covers all personal expenses.
✅ Fact: The NDIS funds “reasonable and necessary” supports directly related to disability needs. It doesn’t cover general living expenses such as rent, groceries, or holidays.

🔹 Myth 4: Once your plan is created, you’re stuck with it for a year.
✅ Fact: NDIS plans are flexible! If your needs change, you can request a plan review at any time.

🔹 Myth 5: Only Australians can access the NDIS.
✅ Fact: Eligibility is based on residency. Permanent residents, citizens, and some visa holders may all be eligible if they meet the other requirements.

💙 By understanding these facts, we can all play a part in reducing confusion and empowering participants, families, and carers with the right knowledge.
